ROLLING STEEL FIRE DOOR DROP TESTING

NFPA 80 and Model Codes require the inspection and testing of fire doors to demonstrate proper operation, full closure and proper reset.

Visual Inspection – Tech will conduct a visual inspection for anything that may cause a hazard or affect proper operation or resetting.

Operational Check – Tech will test normal open and close function of the door and correct any door imbalance, replace or damaged parts that may create a hazard or cause the door to function improperly.

Drop Test – The door will be drop tested to confirm that the fire door will close automatically during a fire emergency. The average closing speed must be between 6″ and 24″ per second.

Reset the Door – The door will be reset per the manufacturer’s instructions, drop tested for a second time and reset again.

Drop Test Form – The proper forms and paperwork will be filled out for the customer’s file and a verification letter sent if required.
